Jennifer Grant is a Glasgow based artist who graduated with a BDes in Product Design 2009 from Gray’s School of Art. We are delighted to produce a site specific off-site work with Jennifer located opposite Collective within Craig’s Close which leads from Cockburn Street to Market Street. Jennifer’s practice focuses around the re-use and manipulation of found and abandoned objects playing with how these urban artifacts can be transformed. For NWSP Jennifer will be constructing a series of swing structures which will hang within Craig’s close.
The Guest Room
With NWSP in its tenth year, we see the programme developing and expanding further, offering for the first time, an opportunity for selected groups/individuals to produce a project within Collective's Guest Room space supported by a commissioning fee.
This year PLACE Projects - a Glasgow-based, artist-led initiative created in 2008, run by Cheryl Field, Jamie Kenyon and Rose Ruane have been selected. PLACE Projects' core focus is on building a community of emerging artists and to provide supporting opportunities for that community to make and show work. PLACE Projects view artist's networks as fundamental to supporting the ability of an artist to believe in the purpose of generating artworks. Communal purpose and consistent dialogue between peers allows a sense of possibility to be fostered.
With this is mind, for NWSP, PLACE Projects are producing two collaborative projects. Firstly with artists, Simon Gowing and Rachel McLean and then with Katharine Gallacher and Ric Warren.
Thurs 22 Oct 6-8pm | Exhibition Event
PLACE Projects present The Principal Inhabitants of the Moon by Simon Gowing and Rachel McLean.
